Winbledon to Osterley LockThis was a repeat of the highly successful walk completed last year as part of the Capital Ring. This time 19 people took part. At Wimbledon Park we watched the future tennis stars of England, ages from 3+ upwards, honing their skills. Then on to Wimbledon Common and coffee at the Windmill where disaster struck when Michael, group leader, dropped his coffee! On to Richmond Park and a lunch stop at the Henry VIIth viewpoint, although these days trees stop any views of St. Paul’s Cathedral, which Henry was supposed to be able to see from here. Along the Thames, tea in the Syon Park Garden Centre and the final leg along the Grand Union Canal and bus, tube and train home, missing the rain that seemed to have fallen in St. Albans. Michael

Striding out near the start, and then taking our ease at the coffee stop and lunch break
